Carpetman – You Will Never Know it

How to play Carpetman – You Will Never Know it by Carpetman on guitar

This song is a good beginner pick because the tempo stays steady and the harmony loops in a way that lets you settle into the groove quickly. You can focus on clean changes and a relaxed feel instead of chasing lots of different ideas, and the repeating pattern makes it satisfying to lock in.

The chart uses both open and barre shapes, so the easier E and A shapes give you a break while the barre chords do most of the work. The main change to watch is the opening move between C# and C#m, since that back-and-forth comes up right away and needs to sound smooth.

Start by practicing the opening progression slowly until the switch between C# and C#m feels automatic. Then add the other barre shapes one at a time, keeping your fretting hand close to the neck. Once the changes are clean, bring it up to tempo and play along with the loop until it feels natural.

Use the play-along above to follow each chord change in time with the music, or learn the shapes first with the chord diagrams below.
